fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on earth  (the  planet where  i live)  a 
 lot of us  have antennas  on our  houses 
 or   balconies,  we  have   built  large 
 antennas for larger  bandwith,  we  have 
     build specialized antennaes for      
   specific wavelengths (and sent them    
 into orbit), we've  built large as  fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually built an antenna  with a 
          dish as large as earth.         
                                          
 we've learned about  our position in the 
      solar system, our solar systems     
 placement   in   the  galaxy,   and  our 
 galaxys placement in the  local cluster, 
 and  our local  clusters place  in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the suns moving  around the 
 center of  the galaxy  at  velocity  and 
 the  galaxy is  moving toward  andromeda 
   and we're both moving anticlockwise    
 around the galaxy. and  we as  a species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and  despite all  this,  despite all our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio  programmes  out in fucking  space 
 at  the speed  of light  (light  is  our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
   filtering, despite our very obvious    
 beaming of  all  our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no       one      has        answered

              so why is that?             
                                          
 most opponents  to  intelligent  life in 
 the universe say  it's because  you need 
 a  class one-or-the-other  star  and the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from  the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but  really   isn't  that   keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think everyone agrees  that we have no 
 idea what we're doing  (and  it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna  go smoke my  third cigarette 
 this year  and try  to snatch some beers 
         from the local beer thing
